Tornado Liveblogging!

2:20 - There is some SCARY rain going on right now and the power keeps flashing on and off. 

2:24 - The tornado sirens are going off right by my work!!

2:30 - They made everybody upstairs come downstairs and sit in the boardroom!

2:32 - Ginger just said, "All salary people in the boardroom... all hourly people can stay by the windows." LOL.

2:37 - Last week I listened to a This American Life where these kids were at a prom and a tornado hit. Spooky!

2:39 - Okay so now I really have to pee. And what if I go in the bathroom to pee and the tornado hits? And then I come out and the building is destroyed and everyone is dead, like the end of Usher's "Love in This Club" video?

2:42 - All the corporate people are now gathered on the other side of my cube wall,  talking loudly. Don't they know Mama Bear is in the Copy Cave? GET BACK IN THE BOARD ROOM!

2:45 - Which is worse - a tornado hitting while you are on the toilet, or pissing your pants during a tornado? You guys should know I am wearing khakis; it would be totally obvious.

2:47 - Oh doy, I guess you wouldn't be able to tell I peed my pants because I would be covered in rain water. Peeing my pants it is.

2:51 - Someone from upstairs just yelled out, "Do we know anything?" *cough*

2:53 - So a tornado was spotted in the country! Like, the nearby, relevent country! And it is supposed to get bad in ten minutes! I still have time to pee!

2:55 - The fun managers are in our department and someone just pointed out that the V.P. looks like Garth Brooks (he just shaved off his beard for the first time in forever).

3:00 - Garth Brooks Photoshopping Party in the Graphics Department!!

3:04 - Ok, the joke is wearing off. Is that tornado here yet?

3:10 - Did I tell you guys I got glasses today? I got computer glasses today. I have wanted glasses since always so I got a gigantic Daria-ish pair. I am so excited!

3:16 - So the second wave of the storm is hitting and they turned the sirens back on. I can hear the storm and I am in the center of the building surrounded by a bunch of chatty Cathys.

3:17 - Cathies? 

3:22 - See friends, this is why I always carry an orange in my purse. 

3:28 - So I heard my phone vibrating? And I thought, "Oh how nice. Someone loves me and wants to make sure I am okay." And I checked my voicemail and it was my dentist's office confirming my appointment.

3:33 - I mean, the dentist's office is like, 5 minutes away. Who confirms appointments during a tornado?

3:35 - "What's your favorite Garth Brooks song?" WONDERFUL.

3:44 - A tornado supposedly just touched down a mile away, at Jefferson Barracks! OMG!

3:49 - "Well, I guess if a tornado is going to hit, it might as well be in a cemetary," said Garth Brooks.
